​Guidance and steering systems

This fully integrated guidance technology system helps reduce fatigue, minimize overlap and skips and allows day and night operation. Using satellite navigation ensures your machine is exactly where it needs to be, so you get the most out of every pass.​

GUIDANCE

Economy with ease

Fendt VarioGuide therefore means cash savings for farmers and contractors. Precise metering, fewer passes and reduced use of fertilizer and pesticides mean not only lower costs, but also better environmental outcomes. At the same time, operators work under considerably less strain in the field, and results are optimized. As tractors automatically follow the optimal track at all times, operators are able to focus fully on other important matters such as monitoring their implements.

In this Video you will learn the new characteristics about the Fendt VarioGuide Contour Assistant and the associated new waylines: “Contour Segment and Single Contour track” type. Additionally, there is adaptive curve, another new wayline type for your VarioGuide system. Through these additional features you can make your work processes more efficient.

VarioGuide = 100% integration into the operating philosophy

Always on the ball

The new version of the Fendt VarioGuide gives you a choice of two different receiver systems: NovAtel® or Trimble®. Existing Trimble® RTK infrastructures on farms such as NTRIP can continue to be used. The systems support a number of correction signals, depending on the respective receiver, including EGNOS/WAAS, RangePoint™RTX™, CenterPoint RTX™ and NTRIP. If you lose your signal due to terrain issues, VarioGuide uses Trimble®-xFill™ technologyto continue work reliably up to 20 minutes without a correction signal available.

NovAtel or Trimble

With Fendt VarioGuide, you are free to choose from two receivers and numerous correction services via satellite or RTK. Use the low-cost and effective NovAtel receiver or the Trimble receiver with even more options. You have the choice of which terminal to use. The Fendt Varioterminal 7” or 10.4” work perfectly with all suggested receivers and signals.

NovAtel RTK ASSIST™ is available for all VarioGuide RTK NovAtel systems. This provides bridging of up to 20 minutes if the correction signal is lost, helping you to continue working with great precision even without an RTK signal. For all VarioGuide Trimble RTK systems, xFill Premium is also available as a fall-back solution for correction signal loss. While xFill™ bridges up to 20 minutes without correction signal, xFill Premium can extend this timeframe to any length

Installation of the GNSS receiver under the roof hatch: Optimal protection against theft, weather and damage!

Regardless of whether it’s tractors, forage harvesters, combines or self-propelled sprayer - VarioGuide is available for all Fendt key machines.
